What can I say? I dream of the day I can drag everyone down to the dirt, just like our glorious leaders intended.

The phrasing of the questions seems fairly non-partisan to me, but I suppose I'm a dirty lefty.

Double post...

Yes I realize they're different flavours of Islam, however given his propensity to paint all Muslims as Islamic jihadists.

I think the Iraq-Iran War might blow his mind.

Wait, wait. I thought socialism doesn't exist. How can I be a socialist if there's no such thing as socialism?

It's been 71 years since the US joined in with World War 2. A mere 76 years before that they just finished fighting one of the bloodiest civil wars amongst themselves over reasons not limited to, but strongly influenced by a large portion of the population wanting to hold slaves. My point is that its stupid to bring it's stupid to try and prove the US is such a great entity based on something they did before most of their population was born, let alone old enough to hold any responsibilities for the actions of the time.

I'm not really seeing what in his post suggests he thinks all war is avoidable or that he would not support a war in every circumstance.

Proving at least one Canadian doesn't understand the term.

Your example is great and all if the only two variables are corporate tax rate and pre-tax income. Here in the real world, there are a few more variables which come in to play. For example, the country with a 0% corporate tax sounds like it is a fairly low tax jurisdiction overall. As such, they likely have fewer social services. All of a sudden the company has extra costs to provide health insurance which is covered in Country B. Also, because they have less money to work with, maybe the transport network hasn't been subsidized as much in Country A, leaving the company having to cover costs related to that, or bite the bullet and accept a lower rate of productivity. Maybe the education system is poorly funded, meaning the workers would have to be trained more, resulting in higher costs. So yeah, thanks for playing.

You haven't commited a terrorist act? Well good for you. Do you want a medal for that accomplishment? That said, the whole point of terrorism is to influence people through fear. Although I certainly wouldn't call what you've posted in this thread terrorism, you're definitely applying the influence through fear angle, case in point:

Given we don't know how those complaints were distributed throughout those ridings, of course it may have changed the results. From what I read of the hearing, they're still working through the ~40000 contacts, meaning 800 isn't necessarily the final number of complaints.

Late 30s, about 5 years Trudeau's junior. As for your jab (hur hur) about him, what's that about rocks and glass houses?

Your talking points might come across better if you could spell properly, bro.

About time.

You realize if the oil sands are the only reason we aren't belly up, then the government's not been plotting a very good course, right?

Despite what you seem to think, Europe is not a monolithic bloc. Germany, The Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries all have triple A credit ratings without oilsands backing them. The countries with problems either tied themselves to the banking industry, which crashed, or are full of corruption, which frankly seems a good fit for the CPC.

No, the economists favour Mulcair by a very, very, very, VERY large margin and will do so forever and ever. Now that we've gotten that ridiculousness out of the way, do you have anything to back up your claims? I would speculate that economists think taxing and spending are preferable to not taxing and but still spending followed by frantic cutting to try and right the ship.

I think the litmus test is whether or not they have a majority government. FTA: "Aubut is in China, but his spokesman Dimitri Soudas said the hunting trip was purely personal, and that no business was discussed and Ottawa never funded the arena." Well if he says so, I'm sure this is the case. Let's move along, people.

Even if he doesn't like her, it's good politics to keep her prominent. Wouldn't want the liberals slipping left and stealing their progressive base.

He received more than the mandatory minimum sentence. I don't think you're making the point you think you're making.

I'm glad to hear it was that easy for you. A couple questions though. How many years of school did you need to have to get this easily obtainable job and by extension, do you think everyone can afford to spend x years of their lives doing that? Also, how high of a demand is there for such highly specialized technical jobs? Sure there's enough to get you a job right away, but if there were tens of thousands of students graduating with such a degree would it be as easy? I agree with the poster who said high school should have a more technical, career oriented approach. That's not students' fault, though.

Uh, because the job of a judge is to judge? I'm not saying said judge should ignore all charges against anyone of aboriginal descent, I'm saying he should take any mitigating factors into account. If he does and decides it shouldn't affect the ruling, that's absolutely fine by me.

On one hand, I do think a judge should factor something like that in their ruling. On the other, I'm not particularly keen that the supreme court has ruled it must be done. I guess I just wish it wasn't something that is considered needed.

Have you looked at any of Cullen's politics? Even though his riding could be considered rural (Northern BC), he is definitely from the progressive, green camp in the NDP.
